Pennsylvania: Methane Gas Found in Residential Water Wells Near Fracking Site
Methane gas has bubbled up at three residential water wells and two streams in Bradford Country, Pennsylvania.
The affected area is around a half a mile from a Chesapeake Energy hydraulic fracturing drilling pad. According to the State Department of Environmental Protection, all three residential wells have been vented and had a methane gas alarm installed in them. Each of the households is receiving either bottled water or a temporary water supply tank from Chesapeake energy.
